The Basset Rescue Crew of the Southeast (BaRCSE) was incorporated in 2009 in South Carolina. We received 501(c)3 non-profit status from the IRS in March 2010. We are entirely volunteer staffed and managed. Our goal is to become a multi-state rescue with volunteers and contacts throughout the Southeast that has the ability to safely transport and re-home needy basset hounds wherever they will find a loving home. Our focus will first and foremost be rescuing and providing necessary medical care to hounds who are in jeopardy of being euthanized.
1. Applicant completes an online application or prints an adoption application from the web site and emails to barcsemail@gmail.com, mails to the PO Box on the application. If submitting application online, via fax, or email, the $10 non-refundable adoption application donation can be mailed to the P.O. Box or sent via Paypal to BaRCSEmail@gmail.com. 2. Upon adoption application receipt, the Adoption Director will interview the applicant by phone and will check their references. [Please note, if you submitted your application online or via email and your vet or other references request a signature before releasing information, the Adoption Committee will contact you to get a signature release.] 3. If the phone interview is satisfactory, a pre-adoption home visit will be scheduled by a BaRCSE member. To see what we look for in a home visit, download the home visit form (Word or pdf). (In cases of previous fosters or adopters, this will not be necessary unless a pre-adoption home visit has not been completed within five years or the family has moved). 4. If the home visit is satisfactory, Adoption Director will discuss the various available dogs with the potential adopters and provide them with the name and contact information of a basset’s foster family. At that point it is up to the foster family to decide when to schedule a meeting between the adoptive family and the basset. Foster family has input into placement of foster dog. 5. Once the potential adopters decide on a basset and when the basset is ready for adoption, their home trial with the basset can begin as soon as possible. Home trials are expected to begin as soon as transportation can be arranged. 6. When the basset arrives for home trial, adopters must sign the adoption agreement (Word or pdf) and pay the adoption donation. We request a $300 donation for basset puppies up to one year of age, $250 for bassets one to eight years of age, $100 for bassets eight to ten years of age, and $75 for bassets over ten years of age or special needs bassets. On the occasion when we have mixed breed bassets due to the intake of a pregnant female, we request a $100 donation for puppies up to one year of age and $75 for dogs older than one year. No more than two dogs can be adopted by the same person at one time. In the case two bassets being adopted within a one year of each other, a multiple dog adoption donation discount of $50 will be given. The $50 discount will be deducted from the adoption donation amount at the time of the second’s dog adoption. 7. After a seven day home trial, if all goes well, the foster basset may be adopted by the adoptive family. If the foster dog is returned to BaRCSE within the home trial period, the adoption donation will be returned to the adopting family. 8. If an adopting family cannot keep their basset for any reason at any time after they have adopted their dog, the basset must be returned to BaRCSE and we will find another home for it. However, the adoption donation will not be returned to the adopting family any time after the seven day trial period.
